Returning to Portland for SizeCon for the second year in a row, Abigail devised an all-new performance lecture to deliver at the event, which took place at the end of March 2026. Focusing on the research and community archiving sides of her current practice on this occasion, as opposed to her emphasis on exploring feminist theory, art, and performance in the context of her creative practice, and of her relationship with size, as she had done in her SizeCon 2025 lecture The Giantess Roars: A Manifesto for a Mad, Queer, Giantess Feminist Rebellion, this new performance lecture — titled So The Government Gave You £10,000 to Talk to a Bunch of Size Freaks… explored the origins of Abigail’s ongoing creative research project The Giantess Speaks, and of the extensive oral history archiving project that sits at its heart, Conversations with the Size Community.

Referencing the £11,996 grant Abigail received through Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice funding programme for independent artists in 2023, which allowed her the initial time and funding to kick-start Conversations with the Size Community and begin developing The Giantess Speaks as an overarching project, So The Government Gave You £10,000 to Talk to a Bunch of Size Freaks… takes its audience on a journey through the evolution of Conversations with the Size Community, from its November 2023 origins as a short series of informal discussions with queer women in the size community — initially conducted for the purpose of informing oral-history-based performance concepts Abigail had been experimenting with at the time — to a major oral-history archiving project consisting of around 200 hours of interview material with over 60 participants. Although devised and delivered before the archiving process had been fully completed, and a formal analysis of interview data could be conducted, the lecture also provided basic insight into demographic data Abigail had collected prior to each interview being conducted, and contained insights into one significant, frequently recurring theme within the interview series: queer and transgender community members deploying their “size identities”, and forms of creative expression within size community spaces, as a “playground” through which gender identity, and expression, could be more widely explored, and experimented with. The lecture also discussed the importance of ethnographic research conducted by and for — as opposed to just “about” — marginalised communities centred around divergent approaches to personal identity, expression, and creativity, discussing the work of research collective Furscience in incorporating itself into furry fandom cultures and spaces as it produces academic research intended to combat misinformation and stigma surrounding the furry fandom itself; finally, it concluded by exploring the notion of The Giantess Speaks as a whole constituting an autoethnography in certain respects, through connecting Abigail’s own experiences of processing gender, neurodivergence, and socio-political oppression through the lens of self-identifying as a “giantess” to the experiences of her interview participants.

A fortnight prior to her appearance at SizeCon 2026, Abigail appeared at the March 2026 edition of The Hyperfixation Presentations, a cabaret event during which neurodivergent performers are invited to give performance lectures on their special interests or current hyperfixations. At this event, Abigail delivered an abridged version of her SizeCon lecture, designed to be no more than fifteen minutes long, titled My Gender Is “Giantess” — Let’s Unpack That For A Bit…. A touch more comedic than its SizeCon sister, this version of the lecture focused primarily on the section of the longer SizeCon lecture discussing size community spaces and expression as being a playground for gender-exploration, and provided more details surrounding the intersections of Abigail’s own relationships with size and gender identity.

Slides from both lectures, as well as photographs from Abigail’s appearance at The Hyperfixation Presentations, can be found below. Note that no recordings or photographs of the SizeCon lecture were produced, due to SizeCon’s strict policies on filming and photography.
